Last Day to Take Advantage of the Passover Discount!!!
As you dream of the bagels you will eat tonight, consider getting a paid subscription
Apparently April 20 is also Easter, so happy Bunny Day, Christians. However, the real importance of today is the fact that it’s the end of Pesach. I write this before the Shabbos that is right before Pesach so I am going to eat a bunch of bread in the next few hours (ok I stop eating chametz around noon and then tomorrow night I go to a seder with friends.) But when you read this, you will either be enjoying your Sunday, turning on the emails for the first time in days (HI!!!! I’m here!!!) or cheating on that whole “don’t check your email on Jewish holidays” rule.)
Ok, you could be celebrating Bunny Day. I know that non-Jews subscribe to my Substack. You’re all welcome here. Anti-Zionists can fuck off, however. But either way, we have a great Substack for you. Not many Bunny related articles, but here’s a picture of a bunny for the algorithm.
Now, just a reminder, here’s what you get with your paid subscription. You get my fiction. You get all of my fiction that I put behind a paywall. That includes The Witching Snakes, a novel in chapters coming out every Sunday until June.
Reminds me that I need to fix those links on those chapters.
If I don’t also include a button for a regular subscription, Substack will send me an annoying automated message, so if you want to pay full price for a subscription.
I also have many stories on this substack, including
"The Albino Dies" by Tim Lieder (Fiction)
This is a Substack extra in addition to the current reviews of John Cheever Stories and The Book of Job (Iyov). I sold it to Big Pulp in 2012 and Bete Noire in 2017. I also wrote “Santa Claus Dies” and “Frank Dies,” so I had a theme at the time. If I wrote it now I might have used a different title. I might have self-published it in my
With a FOUNDING MEMBERSHIP, you not only get the discount, but I will also send you all the Dybbuk Press books. Including Teddy Bear Cannibal Massacre. I wrote about it here.
Editing Teddy Bear Cannibal Massacre (Dybbuk Press)
I was an aspiring writer. I wanted to be a successful writer, a published writer, a paid writer, a working writer, anything but aspiring. I had written a novel, a screenplay, dozens of stories and countless blog posts. I was sending out stories through the postal service with self-addressed stamped envelopes (SASE). I hadn't sold a damn thing. Borderlan…
Besides that, I put out several regular articles including the odd book review like
Lost Souls by Poppy Z. Brite (Book Review)
This is not so much a review as a drooling fanboy celebration of the greatest vampire novel of the 20th century. I'm not denigrating Anne Rice or Stephen King. Both Salem's Lot and The Vampire Lestat are fine novels. I'm simply saying that if you are a fan of vampire horror, you need to read this book. It's too fucking evil to just leave on your shelf o…
I also write about John Cheever stories and the Book of Job.
“The Bus to St. James's” (The Stories of John Cheever)
I tried to read Flannery O'Connor, but I couldn't get past the racism – n-word, hard-r “keep them in their place” racism. Even her classics like “A Good Man is Hard to Find” have characters casually going “Look at that N----”. Read the Complete Stories and you get crap like “The Geranium” that frame an old Southerner freaking out because his daughter li…
